I had mine swapped and when i went to swap again i was offered refund or S3 or Note 2, i was not offered another manufacturers phone..I am not impressed with this handset it needs a big software update it gets too hot which is burning up battery there are lags or stutters and altho it does not concern me my mates are not happy about no full 16GB memory(usually equates to about 14.7GB). I have taken refund for now and gone back to S2.

It's one of my gripe too. That the S4 gets hot by just using a browser. Mind you...any browser. The warmth that the S4 emit is not tolerable. You would stop doing anything with the phone just to cool it down

I have purchased this phone on the 1st may on M&P warranty. The international octa-core version. Before i get to the negatives, the phone is brilliant. The camera is superb and its features are quite a treat for someone who takes pictures frequently. The touch responsiveness is snappy and there is little to no lags. The new air features are no doubt astounding, but i have noticed that most of them dont work naturally. meaning, it is much easier to actually use your finger to scroll then to use smart scroll, and other such things like air call-accept, theyre not day to day features and would only come in handy on occasion or when showing off.

I have no regrets except not waiting for the price to go down before buying it.

Now to the things ive noticed. The battery is 2600 mAh, thats 500 mAh larger then the s3's, but the battery life seems to be the same, which is probably because of the giant 5inch super amoled screen and the 8 cores. And i last about 24 hrs with all of the cool new features OFF and using the phone moderately. A heavy phone user will indeed feel the battery isnt enough. But for the power the device packs, the battery life is good. Not great.

Climate these days where i live is hot. And my phone feeling hot may be because of that, but i have noticed it getting rather warm during games and charging. ive seen many people online saying the international version gets too hot. Especially when charging, playing Heavy games and even surfing the web. It only gets warm, not enough to make you feel uncomfortable.

This is not a fresh new experience of a new smartphone. The s4 is basically a upgraded s3, with similar looks and feel. It is better than the s3 obviously, but not by a distance that we all expected.

All in all, im satisfied with the phone, The flip covers are horrible btw. Like all phones it has its cons, its all a matter of preference. Im a moderate user and this phone suits me. But on a boring day if i might decide to spend several hours playing games. I may need a spare battery just in case.

Apple Lover, 31 May 2013This phone is amazing. I got a newiPhone but sold it to get this. So much better. my iPhone wa... moreI didn't want suggestions, yet you gave it. You replied to the wrong text, right? And by the way your comment just suggests that you're working for Samsung. iPhone has more apps than Android and all the games work fine on iPhone as compared to Android devices. So, if you're into portable gaming, iPhone is the best choice.

AnonD-151171, 31 May 2013Hello everyone, i registered on GSM Arena today especially to post about my horrible experienc... moreAgreed with you dude. I'm facing the same issues as you in S4. It heats up nearly to 56° C or even more. I noticed some lags when opening dialer, phonebook or camera application. Try to access the camera from the lockscreen and tell me if you're Samsung Galaxy S4 restarted.. Mine does which i fixed by going to developer mode and selecting background processes limit to 4 at a time. The major problem of this phone is heating up and low memory, as well as some lags and restarts for me. I changed the set like three times a month. Service center officials said you've to stick with it. Samsung will fix this issues via a software update or else you can get a NOTE II or SIII and get the extra money back. Also they said use S4 until Samsung launches the NOTE III, they will take S4 and give me NOTE III for some extra money. What must i do? Suggestions are welcomed.
